How Our Farm Barters Firewood to Save Money

This is how our family farm saves money on monthly expenses. Bartering is an essential community-based system everyone should be using whether you are looking to save money as a homesteader or if you are planning to live off-grid in a cabin in the woods. With more and more people looking to become more self-sufficient, we must not forget about the importance of rural communities and building relationships. One man can't and shouldn't do it all. Rather, he should focus on a few things and do them well. Build relationships with other farmers, homesteaders, and those living off-grid. Learn from one another, grow together, and exchange goods and services. This is how we return to our roots and live a simpler life.
